STYLE="white-space:nowrap">718-10-20,</FONT></FONT> the definition of a service condition includes those related to &#147;a nonemployee delivering goods or rendering services to the grantor over a vesting period.&#148; Accordingly, please tell us
why you believe customer warrants exercisable based on &#147;specified tranches of global payments&#148; include a performance condition and not a service condition. As previously requested, considering your accounting policy to recognize
stock-based compensation forfeitures as they occur, specifically clarify why you do not initially reduce the transaction price for the full number of warrants that could vest regardless of probability and adjust the transaction price at the time
awards are forfeited to reverse the effect of the forfeited awards. If your <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> forfeiture policy differs from the policy indicated in your response and disclosed on page <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">F-11,</FONT> please advise and revise your disclosures accordingly.</I> </P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">RESPONSE: The Company
respectfully acknowledges the Staff&#146;s comment and appreciates the opportunity to provide further clarification regarding the Company&#146;s conclusion that the warrants contain both a performance condition and service condition as defined by
ASC 718. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The warrants granted to the customer vest upon the customer purchasing specified dollar amounts of the Company&#146;s products
(defined in the relevant documents as amounts of payments from the customer to the Company). The specified amounts are tiered such that a portion of the warrants will vest and become exercisable at various increasing thresholds. As defined in ASC
718-10-20, a performance condition relates to both (a) rendering a service or delivering goods for a specified period of time, and (b) achieving a specified performance target that is defined solely by referring either to the grantor&#146;s own
operations or activities or to the grantee&#146;s performance related to the grantor&#146;s operations or activities. The Company determined that a vesting condition based upon a customer purchasing a specified dollar amount of products from the
Company (a vesting condition tied to revenue realized by the Company from a customer&#146;s purchases, akin to the achievement of a sales target) constitutes a performance condition as defined in ASC 718-10-20. As a result, the probability of
vesting is considered for recognition purposes under ASC 718-10-25-20. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of the warrant as a reduction of revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when the achievement of specified amounts of customer
purchases becomes probable. Because the warrants have a performance-based vesting condition, the Company does not reduce the transaction price for the grant-date fair value of any warrants granted to the customer that the Company determines are not
probable of vesting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company&#146;s forfeiture policy is the same for employee and
nonemployee share-based payment awards, but as previously discussed this policy applies to service conditions. Accordingly, the Company determined it is required to consider the probability of achieving the performance conditions when measuring the
amount of the grant date fair value to recognize as a reduction of revenue. The Company recognizes that neither ASC 606 nor ASC 718 explicitly address the distinction between a service and performance condition for a sales incentive granted to a
customer in the form of an entity&#146;s warrants, particularly when it is not in exchange for a distinct good or service and it vests or becomes exercisable contingent upon a specified volume of customer purchases. The Company is also aware that
there is a recent agenda request submitted to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) regarding this specific topic, which indicates there currently is diversity in practice and that some view share-based payment awards to customers (which are not in
exchange for distinct goods or services) to include only service conditions, while others believe these arrangements include performance conditions. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that, in contrast, if the vesting condition was solely tied to
the customer maintaining their status as a customer for a specified period of time and did not require specified amounts of purchases that it would likely be appropriate to conclude that the award in this circumstance contains only a service
condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center">[<I>Signature Page Follows</I>] </P>
